A
Dallas Job Fairs are a great way for you to explore employment opportunities and
gather information about companies who are currently hiring in the Dallas area.
Many job seekers view a Job Fair on Dallas Job Fair as a first interview, and
other job seekers view Dallas job fairs as an opportunity to gather information
about potential employers. Regardless of reasons for attending a job fair in
Dallas, there are a several key things to keep in mind before, during, and after
the job fair to make the most of the Dallas job fairs.

Find out what Companies will be attending
the Dallas job fairsThe more information you can gather beforehand, the more successful the
Dallas Job Fair will be for you. After you register for the Dallas Job Fair
you will be able to view the companies that will be hiring. You should then
spend some time doing some research about the companies so you can have a more
in depth conversation with the recruiter at the Dallas Job Fair. Try to find
out what types of jobs they have open? What kind of skills is the company
looking for? What kinds of skills do these companies need to have?

Have few questions you would ask
employers.Narrow your list of employers to those who have job opportunities you
are interested in, or are employers you believe you would like to work for.
Then list some questions you would like to ask the hiring manager at the
Dallas Job Fairs.

Proofread your resume - at least two
times.If you
don''''t already have one, make one for the Dallas Job Fairs. It gives
employers a quick overview of your skills/experience and something to remember
you by. Be sure to proofread your resume before the Dallas Job Fair and
correct any spelling or grammatical mistakes (search for spell checker on:
google, yahoo and msn for a free tool). Be sure to have someone else look over
your resume, even if you think it is perfect. Don''''t let simple mistakes on
your resume overshadow your work history and qualifications for a job!

Dress for an
interview. First impressions at the Dallas Job Fair are important. Show the
employers that you are serious about your job search. It is best to wear a suit
to a job fair, - unless you are looking for a job that would require you to
dress professionally at work. NEVER WEAR jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps,
headphones ect. If you cannot wear a suit to the job fair, your best alternative
is business casual. Nice slacks and a collared shirt for men and nice slacks or
a skirt and a blouse for women. Make sure your clothes are clean and pressed.
Don’t wear excessive jewelry or clothing that is too short or revealing.

Spend time with each
employer.Don't just hand a resume to the hiring manager and go to the next
employer. Put in some time and effort into getting additional information
about the hiring company and try to make a good an impression. Don’t just try
to see how many resumes you can give to employers in the least amount of time
- it is VERY IMPORTANT to make a connection with the hiring manager and find
some good job opportunities. It is also important to know when to approach
each employer. Try to avoid approaching employers when they are crowded by a
large group of job seekers, find an employer that is less busy. Trying to make
a connection with an employer that is very busy at the job fair makes it
harder for the employer to answer your individual questions, and they are far
less likely to remember you.

Use your research to your advantage.
You should
feel more confident and knowledgeable because you did your home work, prior
the Dallas job fairs. Because you have done your research prior to the job
fair, you won't have to ask the question, what does your company do? Instead
you can start the conversation with “I am familiar with your company and I
really would like to be involved with your line of products and services”.
Then give them an example of one of the products or services you know about.
You will have a real advantage if you can tell employers how your skills match
what they are looking for. Employers look to hire job seekers who show an
interest in their company.

A firm handshake and maintaining eye
contact.Show
the employer how serious you are. Greet each employer with a firm handshake,
and be certain to maintain eye contact throughout the conversation.

After the Dallas Job
Fairs:

Follow up
with a thank you email.Experts agree that follow-up is a crucial
part of attending a job fair Dallas. Make sure you pick up a business card, or
at the very least get the name of the hiring manager you spoke with and his or
her email address. Send a thank you note a email within two days of the job
fair. This will show the employer you paid attention, are serious about the
job opportunity, and that you are the right person for the
job.
